I am a first-year PhD student in the Integrative Conservation and Anthropology program at UGA. I hold an MA in Visual Anthropology from the University of Manchester and for the past 4 years have worked as a freelance documentary filmmaker and videographer, telling the stories of mission-driven institutions and creatively communicating scholarly research. My research interests include multispecies relationality, multimodal ethnography, and the legacies of colonialism in agrarian contexts.

My work is situated within environmental anthropology and political ecology. I explore the relationships between chagras (agroforestry plots), traditional knowledge, and livelihood diversification in the southern Colombian Amazon. My research integrates social-ecological systems theory, ethnobotany, and political ecology to support resilient agricultural systems that protect entanglements of agrobiodiversity, livelihoods, and knowledge.

I am interested in the intersection of sustainability, subsistence, and science communication and explore these topics through the lens of environmental archaeology. I utilize methods such as stable isotopic analysis and spatial analysis to understand resource management strategies and their interdependent relationship with the climate and local environment.
